Right When he exited the rift it closed, His heart finally lightened up a bit. He could sense Xie lian. The heart will find its way to its owner.

Xie lian wasn't in sight. Following the narrow track Hua cheng finally saw a white robed man sitting silently by the riverside down the mountain.

Seeing the same familiar face Xie lian's face lit up ,"San lang ,you're he..." he stood up.

Xie lian could not even finish the sentence when a pair of familiar arms tightly embraced his waist . "Gege , please don't scare me like that , I would've made the world upside down If I hadn't found you a second later ",  His face was red. Since Hua cheng came back he had never left his side. It was rare occasions when he actually did.

Xie lian smiled hugging him back "Sang lan , did I make you feel bad?  I am confident you would find me wherever I go, look at me here I was sitting silently fishing, expecting you to come here at any moment ,I feel bad now."

Hua cheng tightened his hug ," Gege don't say that. "

"Well now what should we do ? This is a very unfamiliar place . Do you know where we are ?" He asked ,pulling his long flowy white robes a bit upwards in order to not get them wet and moving towards the river ,"I don't " Hua cheng nodded.

"Well , Well it's a surprise" Hua cheng knew about everything and place around the world, It used to get scarier when he didn't.

"I found an abandoned hut ,it's in a pretty good state , lets spend a night there and we will think about what should be done next "Xie lian turned back and smiled at him.

"Gege should I try to find out where we are ?"he asked "yes "Xie lian answered washing his face.

Right then he released a huge amount of spiritual power to inquiry ghosts of the place. As a demon king of this realm and demonic cultivator ,Luo binghe and Wei wuxian sensed the large amount of demonic spiritual power of dangerous level right away .

They headed towards the hut ,It was pretty close by the river . When they both reached inside, there was nothing to be found it was empty with just a wooden bed. It looked like it was abandoned not long ago ,the traces of people living were still there.

Xie lian brought some fishes from the river, lit up fire and started roasting it.

Hua cheng finished collecting information from local ghosts residing there. He could not collect much from mealsy creatures like them but learned that they were in an abandoned mountain of yiling . It was also era of cultivators and peoples spoke the same language .

"San Lang taste it and tell me ,if it's properly cooked or not ", with however no salt , spices or any other ingredients , anybody could tell it does not taste good.

Hua cheng was laying on the wooden bed with his arm tucked up as a pillow under his head , he took the stick in his hand and pulled Xie lian's wrist with another. Now Xie lian was sitting right next to Hua cheng . Hua cheng got up and sat with his body hugging Xie lian's back he whispered in his ears ,"Gege , what's the name of this dish?"

"Across the rift in space ", Xie lian laughed. His sense of naming was ridiculous but Hua cheng still took a bite with a genuine happiness in his eyes, "gege, you're the best."

"Am I "xie lian gave a slight smile .

"Gege see what I found ", Wei Wuxian held a dandelion flower on his hands found on the roadside. "It's like you , white and beautiful ", at that sentence he started laughing loudly looking at Lan Wangji quietly walking on the road.

They both were going down Gusu . Arriving at the central part of yiling town when they couldn't find Shen Qingqiu and luo binghe.

Taking a stroll around Wei wuxian looked at everything ,dragging lan Wangji from one shop to another . From others perspective it probably looked like a girl dragging his boyfriend here and there on a date but Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan were married.

The night was about to fall so they booked a room where shen qingqiu promised to meet them. 

It was probably four am when another wave of powerful and strange spiritual aura spread.

Wei Wuxian who was sound asleep hugging Lan Wangji immediately got up and so did Lan Zhan. "Gege ,Did you feel that ?" he got up dressing up in the dark putting on whatever he can find on the neatly folded clothes not taking the trouble to light up the lamp. "Yes",Lan Wangji also put on another set of clothes and got ready to head out .
